Jotdo List
Read full descriptionHide full description
Jotdo List is a calm to-do notebook — and more than a list. Everything you write down can be handed to the Tiny AI Supervisor and actually finished on your own computer. TO-DOS THAT GET DONE Tick "hand to the Tiny AI Supervisor" and it queues up on your own computer, running inside the folders you authorize. See what is queued, running, or waiting for your review at a glance. The process and the result are written back onto the original to-do, ready to read, copy, or share as an image. WRITE IT DOWN Switch between lists and cards. Color marks priority, so importance reads at a glance. The calendar shows which days are busy and which are free, and each day gets a report of what you finished and what you created. BUILT-IN TEMPLATES Not sure where to start? The public library is grouped by home life and by profession: office work, family, indie developer, creator, freelancer, student, health, money, growth, shopping, travel. Add a whole list in one tap, then make it yours. THE SMALL CONVENIENCES Copy a block of text and paste it into a to-do — title, steps, and notes come along. Templates drop in whole lists. Share a day or a list as an image, or send it straight to a printer. KEPT SIMPLE No pets, levels, feeds, or daily check-ins. Open the app and there are your to-dos. MAKE IT YOURS Swap the preset palettes, or build your own from four base colors: background, text, accent, highlight. Pick a font and a text size. Use the app in Simplified Chinese or English. Rename the Tiny AI Supervisor, and let it mumble when it has nothing to do. MEMBERSHIP Free: on-device to-dos, sign-in sync, and a welcome points balance that already lets you hand tasks to the Tiny AI Supervisor. Jotdo Membership: unlimited assignments, color palettes, and private lists. Subscriptions auto-renew and can be cancelled in Settings. Introductory pricing applies to the first period only. Privacy: data stays on-device until you sign in. You can export or delete your records anytime.
